U.S.-Russia Relations

Executive Director of the Center for the National Interest, Paul J. Saunders, directs the U.S. – Russia Relations Program, which focuses on American policy toward Moscow and on U.S. – Russian dialogue. The program is built around a regular series of seminars on key issues in the bilateral relationship, including non-proliferation, the war on terror, energy, and Russia’s domestic evolution as it relates to democracy, the media, and corruption. The program has recently focused on U.S. and Russian interests and interaction in the former Soviet territory.
